1.1 - Preface

Your heat exchanger will give you full satisfaction provided you
maintain it well, in full, and diligently.
• Be sure to keep the following documents in a safe place:
1) this owner's and servicing manual (supplied with the
heat exchanger);
2) the CE certificate of conformity, if necessary;
• Your plate heat exchanger has a limited range of temper-
atures and pressures. As it is highly sensitive to sudden
changes in these parameters, all precautions must be taken
to avoid operating outside the limits indicated on the label.
1) Excessive temperatures will damage the gaskets (in-
stall the appropriate safety thermostats, etc.).
2) Excessive operating pressures or differential pressures
will damage the gaskets and plates (install the appropri-
ate safety valves, etc.).
• Plate heat exchangers are highly sensitive to pressure surg-
es. Accordingly, the control must be designed to prevent
this occurring and QUARTER-TURN VALVES MUST NOT BE
INSTALLED ON ANY OF THE CIRCUITS.
• Given the large number of gaskets, leaks may occasionally
occur. To protect against this eventuality, install protective
screens if dangerous fluids are used or the temperatures
rise to above 60°C.
• CARRIER may not be held liable for any damage or injury re-
sulting from failure to follow the instructions in this manual.

• CARRIER is not liable for any consequences that may result
from the accidental mixing of the fluids used in the heat
exchanger.

1.2 - Regulations

• Official inspections: some heat exchangers must be
regularly inspected by official bodies. It is the operator's
responsibility to organise these inspections directly with the
competent bodies. The dossier sent to our principal must
therefore be kept in a safe place.
• The heat exchanger category set out in the European Pres-
sure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC is specified on the
data plate on the heat exchanger and on a label placed on
the last page of this manual.
• You must make sure that the entire system complies with
the directives and legislation in effect in the country of op-
eration.
• This heat exchanger must not be used for purposes other
than those stated on the order documents. In particular,
do not use fluids other than those specified at the time of
ordering.
• Scrupulously comply with the operating conditions set out
in the order documents. They were used to determine the
equipment category set out in the European Pressure Equip-
ment Directive. CARRIER shall not be held liable for any or
consequential or incidental damages resulting from failure
to do so.
• CARRIER must be notified of any changes in the operating
conditions and will inform you of the procedure to follow.
